Btw, allowing a release with partial support for a feature raises the question
of how one would later (and easily) detect full support. The latest with
ae89daecb132 ("x86: generalize disabling of sub-architectures") I was really
hoping that such detection for all new ISA extensions would be straightforward
by probing just the respective .arch directive.
Also this should perhaps say "Partial and experimental" rather than "Initial".
